Fifty to sixty years ago, police would have knocked the stuffing out of people looting and burning stores, and the general public and politicians would have supported those actions. There would have been no Ferguson or Baltimore. People have a right to a voice, not a right to destroy property, and police have the legal ability to use force to stop that type of activity, no matter what the race of the rioters might be. What has gotten into the minds of our leaders? Government being run by a mob is anarchy. Disrespect for law and order must not be tolerated. Where are the minds of our public?
